    Clearly not about father's rights

    I don't buy into all the rhetoric that comes from the pro-choice side of the abortion debate, but this proposed bill really is a direct attempt to limit a woman's control over her own body.

    It's an outrageous bill. Either abortion should be illegal, or the person getting the abortion should have final say. No-one should have to get a permission slip from someone they had sex with in order to make decisions about their own body.
